The Crown Princess successfully stole the show.
Everyone in the hall who could hear and see looked at her. There's a saying, "It's easy to talk when you're not the one suffering," or "A well-fed person doesn't know the hunger of a starving person."
The lesson we learn today: "Stop bullying our ancestors!"
Huan Yue blurted out, "Isn't the old ancestor just someone who bullies people?"
The emperor decreed: "Go and let the ancestor give you a beating!"
Huan Yuepi: "A beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love. If my ancestors are willing to beat me, it means they love me."
It's hopeless!
Look at what King Qi has to say.
Kong Zhenjun woke up with a splitting headache and hurriedly said, "My daughter will go back to her hometown tomorrow."
Di Baose laughed loudly: "Will the Prince of Qi go or not? Going to his fiefdom with Miss Kong is fine too. The people of Fuchun County are waiting for you."
Fu angrily retorted: "This dynasty has no one who takes up a fiefdom."
Di Baose, quick-witted, said, "You're overthinking it! What 'vassal state'? Just being the magistrate of Fuchun County is enough. An official should bring benefits to the people in his jurisdiction. If every prince or nobleman could govern a county well, how many could there be?"
The King of Song watched, and found it even more absurd than Qing'e's.
However, this idea of forcing King Qi to leave is just nonsense.
If we don't express our opinion now, we'll see what attitude the King of Qi has.
The Fu family was anxious about the lineage of the King of Wu. Fuchun County was wealthy, but not as wealthy as the King of Wu.
The King of Qi requested permission from his father, the emperor: "Your subject wishes to govern a county, regardless of its location."
Jin Dian nodded: "Then I know Fuchun County."
Everyone was completely baffled!
Those who don't understand, do they think Qi Wang will really become a county magistrate?
Those who understand will savor this flavor.
Fuchun County was the fiefdom of the King of Qi. A county couldn't accomplish much, but it was still relatively important. Therefore, the current magistrate was Dong Xu's brother-in-law. Was he the King of Qi's maternal uncle? It seems like a huge injustice was being done.
This means that the King of Qi gained nothing, and even if Fuchun County is a good place, it's not worth it.
Xie Geng has gone to farm, and now the King of Qi is going to farm too? The Emperor's intentions are too obvious.
Lady Dong panicked and pleaded with the emperor, "He cannot go."
Looking at her now, why can't we see her as a good person?
In a moment of quick thinking, Ms. Dong clutched her chest, feeling a tightness in her chest!
Di Baose was kind: "Is Consort Shuyuan dying? This is clearly a favor from the Emperor, and you're showing resentment?"
Mrs. Dong wanted to tear her apart!
Di Baose quickly hid behind Huan Yue.
Mrs. Dong is really fierce; you'll have to push her to the limit!
Princess Guangning also felt that Lady Dong was desperate and about to do something drastic. She didn't care whether she became Empress or Imperial Noble Consort, as long as Prince Qi ascended the throne. But if Prince Qi was out of the running, then Lady Dong was her greatest hope.
The King of Qi was also anxious: "Your mind is made up! I am still young, and it is time for me to start from the bottom and get in touch with the common people!"
He reminded Ms. Dong that he was still young.
But Lady Dong didn't think so. He was eighteen years old. As the Crown Prince's position became more and more stable, he could go to Fuchun County and still have opportunities in the future.
A group of people were busy praising King Qi.
Don't rush, there's an imperial decree: "Wei Chao is in Fuchun County, so you will be the county magistrate."
In the blink of an eye, he was demoted by two ranks.
As for how Wei Chao, the county magistrate, should proceed, that is clearly not something the sage should concern himself with.
A group of people dared not ask the prince how to become a county magistrate; if they continued to ask, they would probably be finished.
It's impossible for all the people in the Prince Qi's mansion to go there; there are no positions for them. It would be more interesting if the common people were to support them.
There's something else wrong with this: if a county magistrate can produce results, how can a county assistant, who's like a concubine, possibly achieve anything?
Mrs. Dong burst into tears, feeling a tightness in her chest.
Huan Yue was bewildered: "The King of Great Zhao is here for the people of Great Zhao. Why is Lady Shuyuan crying? The world is at peace now, and Fuchun County is rolling in wealth. If Lady Shuyuan is not satisfied, she can exchange with Prince Peng. After all, he is the eldest brother and you are the third brother."
King Peng felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly said, "I will do my best to make Qiaoshan County better."
The current reassurance is: "There's no rush."
It's not easy for impoverished, remote areas to improve. Zhao still has a lot of work to do.
Even a wise ruler today cannot accomplish so much in a short time.
The atmosphere became a bit eerie.
Isn't the Crown Princess going too far by wanting Prince Qi to go to some remote, impoverished place?
Making political achievements is easy, but the process is arduous enough. What if you stay there for ten years? By then, it'll be too late.
That's why it's said that a woman's heart is the most poisonous!
The Dong family is determined to fight her to the death!
Huan Yue gave her one finger.
The table that Ms. Dong overturned still hasn't been cleaned up.
This is unwatchable.
Let's stop fooling around for now and take a break. There will be plenty of time later anyway.
Kong Zhenjun had recovered, though her head was throbbing with pain, so she remained expressionless.
The current ruler has expelled Qionghua Zhenren and forbids her from entering the palace again.
Qionghua Zhenren still doesn't understand; she's innocent!
Di Baose came down and sat with Guo Bing. Like many others, she secretly watched Kong Zhenjun, wondering how she had suffered such a backlash.
Although Fushan Zhenren stole Li Shi's man, and Lan Shiyan should be called Pei Shiyan, this gossip is almost as big as that.
Because the story of Fu Shan Zhenren is old news, Kong Zhenjun is the new one, and who doesn't like something new?
Madam Xu looked distressed.
However, Kong Zhenjun is involved in the struggle to seize the Phoenix's life, so it's generally difficult to advise her, for fear of getting herself implicated. The matter of the Phoenix's life isn't over yet.
The Qian family is still in prison. But the Pei family is practically empty now. Feng Ming is someone you can hardly afford to touch.
Even if Madam Xu wanted to explain, no one would listen; no one knew how deep the waters of Sheng'an ran.
Just like the impoverished Pei family, they managed to cause so much trouble.
Yang Tao sat to one side, angry. The Princess Consort of Yongning seemed lost in thought.
As everyone knows, there are three members of the Pei family in the Yongning Prince's Mansion.
The key point is not that Prince Yongning would get tired of them, but that Prince Yongning himself cherishes and loves beautiful women.
Prince Yongning and his brothers sat together. This wasn't a place for serious conversation, but it allowed for simple exchanges.
The brother doesn't care how many women he has.
It now appears that the Crown Princess is ruthless, and the Wu Prince's residence is in grave danger.
Look, they've brought down both the Cui and Dong families. They're almost wiping out the King of Qi.
It's better to talk about Xie Yu than the Crown Princess; his grudges with the first wife are too complicated to explain and need not be discussed.
The King of Wu remained expressionless; he couldn't afford to be expressionless at this moment.
As for whether Huan Yue will gradually bring him down, it's hard to say. But rebellion? That's not as simple as just talking about it.
If he doesn't act, he'll definitely become the wise king of Zhao. But once he makes a move, there's no turning back.
With so many children and grandchildren, it's impossible to have a good life for any of them. His eldest grandson is already six years old.
Prince Huayuan remained silent. His father wouldn't have dragged it out until now if he hadn't been so hesitant.
Xie Yu was lulled into complacency by the favorable terms. If it were Xie Zhou instead, and he took these things back, what right would the King of Wu's lineage have?
After the halftime break, a new chapter begins for Zhao!
The Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort are both gone. Therefore, the Emperor has a Crown Prince to the east and a Crown Princess to the west.
The family of three represents the highest orthodoxy of the Great Zhao!
Since there is no Empress or Imperial Noble Consort, the positions of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess are closer to that of the Emperor, although they are still somewhat lower in rank.
Moving towards the center indicates that they do not intend to appoint another empress.
The concubines in the harem should understand this by now. If they want to get ahead, they'll have to consider whether the Crown Princess will allow it.
Anyway, Consort Zhu didn't expect that sitting in front of the curtain would be cooler in the back.
Consort Li thought the later part was quite nice. Although Lady Dong might come later and spoil the pleasant atmosphere.
However, things are much more pleasant in the harem now; the days when the Dong and Cui families held sway are gone forever.
